摘要:
A mobile system having a portable fingerprint collecting system for generating a digitized image of a fingerprint collected from a subject, a database system configured to store a database containing a plurality of fingerprint templates cross-referenced with identification information, the database system configured to compare the digitized fingerprint images generated by the portable fingerprint collecting device with the fingerprint templates stored in the database to provide identification information for the fingerprint, and a communication system providing real time communication of the digitized fingerprint image and identification information between the portable fingerprint collecting system and the database system.
摘要:
An apparatus for performing data entry by a user includes a first electronic device configured to be attached to a person's head and including a display for viewing by the person; and a second electronic device configured to be attached to a person's forearm and used in combination with the first electronic device. The first and second electronic devices are configured for wirelessly communications with each other, at least some of the wireless communications representing user input by the person for interfacing with a user interface displayed to the person on the display of the first electronic device, whereby data entry by the person is accomplished. The first electronic device is configured to wirelessly transmit data entered by the person to a computer system for electronic storage in a non-transitory computer readable medium.

摘要:
A catheter holder designed to deliver a curable biomaterial to an intervertebral disc space. By securing the catheter to the catheter holder, the depth of insertion of the catheter into the disc space can be accurately controlled. The catheter holder optionally helps with insertion of a optional mold through the annulotomy and into the disc space created by the nuclectomy. The catheter holder helps keep the mold from being drawn too far into the disc space or pushed too far out of the disc space during polymer injection.
摘要:
A method of implanting an intervertebral prosthesis in a disc located between a pair of adjacent vertebrae of a patient. Damaged or diseased nucleus pulpous is removed from the disc using minimally invasive techniques. The adjacent vertebrae are positioned in a lordotic condition. A mold adapted to contain a biomaterial is positioned between the adjacent vertebrae. A flowable biomaterial is delivered into the mold using minimally invasive techniques so that the adjacent vertebrae are in the lordotic condition. The flowable biomaterial is allowed to at least partially cure so that the adjacent vertebrae are in a lordotic-neutral position. The step of positioning the pair of adjacent vertebrae in a lordotic condition may include positioning the patient in extension, displacing spinous processes of the adjacent vertebrae to a compressed configuration, suturing spinous processes of the adjacent vertebrae to a compressed configuration, and/or delivering the flowable biomaterial into the mold at sufficient pressure to distraction the adjacent vertebrae to a lordotic position. One or more preformed prostheses can be substituted for, or combined with, the mold.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for fluidly coupling a reservoir containing a flowable biomaterial to a mold. The flow of the flowable biomaterial into the mold is controlled in accordance with a first operating parameter. At least one injection condition is monitored. The flow of the flowable biomaterial is controlled in accordance with a second operating parameter in response to one or more of the injection conditions reaching a threshold level. The second operating parameter is maintained during at least a portion of the curing of the flowable biomaterial. In some embodiments, the second operating parameter may optionally include permitting a portion of the flowable biomaterial to be expelled from the mold.
